This is Our Script really rough version we used for the animatic, with a few changes.

This is our group WILD FISHES' quick first Animatic, based on our story we chose to do about Peter Mundy.    


These are very rough ideas for the Spanish and Chinese guys in our animation.



These are some mood boards I created for my 800 Penryn group project, where we are making animations in groups to celebrate the 800 years Penryn in Cornwall has been around for. So our animation has to be based around Cornwall and mainly Penryn. They are my character and landscape background mood boards.

Here is all the stuff put together of 2d work I created this week based on Celaction 2D, which is the most confusing and annoying software I have used so far. As I found it trick to use and horrible to workout where things should be on each of the small animations placed properly. What we had to do was create a normal walk and a character walk.

The was the other thing we was given different images of facial expressions and we had to create the man saying "hello" and I thought it was quite easy, but I'm not sure if I would use Photoshop to animate much.

In a Photoshop lecture we were looking at how to animate on photoshop, which I did a quick guy smiling and moving however I was told the wrong export so its not moving soz.  



In a sound lecture we were given this piece of video from a Pixar short to try and add new sound effects two the scene along with some background noise, I think the results so far have come out well.
This is a scene shot from a session we had on texturing in Maya the 3D software, at the start I had a plan grey box and a image of a net of a cereal box. I then had to place the parts at the right place on each face of the grey cereal box to create a 3D version of a actual looking cereal box. I found it hard at first as I never done anything like this before but I think I could textures another object if I need to and it look alright.
This is a scene that was created using Photoshop, different style brushes to create effects such as the texture in the clouds.

This is a poster from the short Disney short Animation called  "The Small One" Which was made in 1978 and originally released theatrically by Buena Vista Distribution on December 16, 1978. Its a boy who lives with his father and four donkeys outside of Nazareth, one of the donkeys Is called small one and is the boys best friend, but out one day when working to carry logs his father works out that one of the donkeys is too old and cannot work any more. He then tells his son he must leave to sell the donkey but as its his best friend and he has to do it the boy has to leave to sell his friend and get silver from him, he has lots of difficulty finding someone and everyone rude to him at start but he finally finds a "friendly face" to take him. I feel like they based the donkey on Eeyore from "Winnie-the-pooh" sort of because he looks similar to him in my eyes/ears when u see small one in certain positions in the animation, the boy also reminds me of Mowgli from Jungle Book, by the style of the hair and the shape of the eyes. I love the style and the story's really sweet, the use of sound is very good the choice in the music and songs made up are really interesting to listen to, especially the song where the three traders are singing about their work/money!

PIKACHUUUUU!!!!! Dancing Small thing, also done on TB.
love for Pikachu strong!

A small animation I created on Toon Boom of  Charmander blowing fire, it was all done with just the use of a mouse on a laptop, so is quite rough. I had the idea from some pokemon drawings I did one day when I got bored!
